★ KAWAII CRUISE ★
COSPLAY FASHION SHOW

 
 

The Cosplay Fashion Show is your opportunity to showcase your Cosplay and Kawaii Fashion while on the T-MODE Kawaii Cruise. Win fantastic 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place prizes — including a mini photo shoot with our professional photographer during the cruise!

Time & Location

The show starts at 1:00 PM on the 2nd Deck. Participants will be required to line up about 10 minutes before showtime.

Who Can Enter

The Cosplay Fashion Show is open to anyone attending the T-MODE Kawaii Cruise who wants to participate. We want to give everyone the chance to have their work highlighted and appreciated, whether you’re cosplaying for the first time or many times.

How To Enter

No need to pre-register. Participants only have to submit a quick entry card during the cruise prior to the start of the show.

Contest Categories

You can select from two categories for your entry: COSPLAY or FASHION.

  • Cosplay – handcrafted cosplay, commissioned cosplay, store bought cosplay, and closet/casual cosplay. Select this category if your look is based on a pre-existing character.

  • Fashion – Lolita, Japanese street fashion, traditional/cultural clothing, original designs, a really cool looking outfit, etc. Select this category if your look is based on style and design.

Contest Judging

The Cosplay Fashion Show is about having fun and showing off your look. Participants will NOT be judged on craftsmanship and do not need to bring reference material. Your entry will be reviewed for judging by our Featured Cosplayer when it’s your turn to walk in the show.

Awards

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place prizes will be awarded in both Cosplay and Fashion categories. Winners are selected at the sole discretion of our Featured Cosplayer.

Dress Code Guidelines

Due to space limitations of the Cherry Blossom Riverboat, oversized cosplay or fashion looks will not be allowed. All cosplay must be able to easily fit through narrow doorways and walkways.

As the event takes place in a family-friendly area, please make sure to maintain appropriate coverage of “naughty bits” at all times and that coverage is sufficient while walking, sitting, and standing.

Large props and prop weaponry of any kind are not permitted. Please do not bring them.
